ABSTRACTIn this paper, we describe the formatting guidelines for the SysMus12 Proceedings.

KeywordsKeywords are your own designated keywords.

1. INTRODUCTIONThe proceedings are the records of the conference. SysMus12 hopes to give these conference by-products a single, highquality appearance. To do this, we ask that authors follow some simple guidelines. In essence, we ask you to make your paper look exactly like this document.

2. PAGE SIZEAll material on each page should fit within a rectangle of 18 x 23.5 cm (7″ x 9.25″), centered on the page, beginning 2.54 cm (1″) from the top of the page and ending with 2.54 cm (1″) from the bottom. The right and left margins should be 1.9 cm (.75”). The text should be in two 8.45 cm (3.33″) columns with a .83 cm (.33″) gutter.

3. TYPESET TEXT3.1 Normal or Body TextPlease use a 9-point Times Roman font, or other Roman font with serifs, as close as possible in appearance to Times Roman in which these guidelines have been set. The goal is to have a 9-point text, as you see here. Please use sans-serif or nonproportional fonts only for special purposes, such as distinguishing source code text. If Times Roman is not available, try the font named Computer Modern Roman. On a Macintosh, use the font named Times. Right margins should be justified, not ragged.

3.2 Title and AuthorsThe title (Helvetica 18-point bold), authors’ names (Helvetica 12-point) and affiliations (Helvetica 10-point) run across the full width of the page – one column wide. We also recommend phone number (Helvetica 10-point) and e-mail address (Helvetica 12-point). See the top of this page for three addresses. If only one address is needed, center all address text. For two addresses, use two centered tabs, and so on. For more than three authors, you may have to improvise.1

3.3 First Page Copyright NoticePlease leave 3.81 cm (1.5″) of blank text box at the bottom of the left column of the first page for the copyright notice.

3.4 Subsequent PagesFor pages other than the first page, start at the top of the page, and continue in double-column format. The two columns on the last page should be as close to equal length as possible.

Table 1. Table captions should be placed above the table

3.5 References and Citations

Footnotes should be Times New Roman 9-point, and justified to the full width of the column.

Use the standard Communications of the ACM format for references – that is, a numbered list at the end of the article, ordered alphabetically by first author, and referenced by numbers in brackets [1]. See the examples of citations at the end of this document. Within this template file, use the style named references for the text of your citation.

The references are also in 9 pt., but that section (see Section 7) is ragged right. References should be published materials accessible to the public. Internal technical reports may be cited only if they are easily accessible (i.e. you can give the address to obtain the report within your citation) and maybe obtained by any reader. Proprietary information may not be cited. Private communications should be acknow-ledged, not referenced (e.g., “[Robertson, personal communi-cation]”).

1If necessary, you may place some address information in a footnote, or in a named section at the end of your paper.

3.6 Page Numbering, Headers and Footers

Do not include headers, footers or page numbers in your submission. These will be added when the publications are assembled.

4. FIGURES/CAPTIONSPlace Tables/Figures/Images in text as close to the reference as possible (see Figure 1). It may extend across both columns to a maximum width of 17.78 cm (7”).

Captions should be Times New Roman 9-point bold. They should be numbered (e.g., “Table 1” or “Figure 2”), please note that the word for Table and Figure are spelled out. Figure’s captions should be centered beneath the image or picture, and Table captions should be centered above the table body.

5. SECTIONSThe heading of a section should be in Times New Roman 12-point bold in all-capitals flush left with an additional 6-points of

white space above the section head. Sections and subsequent sub- sections should be numbered and flush left. For a section head and a subsection head together (such as Section 3 and subsection 3.1), use no additional space above the subsection head.

5.1 SubsectionsThe heading of subsections should be in Times New Roman 12-point bold with only the initial letters capitalized. (Note: For subsections and subsubsections, a word like theor a is not capitalized unless it is the first word of the header.)

5.1.1 SubsubsectionsThe heading for subsubsections should be in Times New Roman 11-point italic with initial letters capitalized and 6-points of white space above the subsubsection head.

5.1.1.1 SubsubsectionsThe heading for subsubsections should be in Times New Roman 11-point italic with initial letters capitalized.

5.1.1.2 SubsubsectionsThe heading for subsubsections should be in Times New Roman 11-point italic with initial letters capitalized.
